Can a post be drafted automatically when a new episode goes up?

Yes. On the News Automation Config tab, each website has a Draft Posts From New Episodes switch. With it on, whenever a new episode of your shows arrives and its transcript is ready, we write a companion article from that transcript, with links that jump readers to the exact moments on the episode page.

Every one of these arrives as a draft in your News library, never published and never emailed on its own. You read it, edit it, set who can read it (everyone, members, or paid members), publish, and send it to your members when you're happy with it. We draft each episode once and check for new episodes every hour, covering episodes published in the last week.
